Multiple hours passed before Charlotte finally stood up. Subway Seat remained on the floor, and Scenty was glued to Soda Bottle. Feeling naked and vulnerable, she stiffly walked over to the large pile of sand.
"..What are you doing?" Subway Seat asked just loud enough for her to hear.

Thankfully, nobody else got up and snapped at her for this decision. She felt there was nothing else she could do but obey at this point. This was her punishment to bear.

It didn't take long for her to find the rock. She pushed it out of the pile as proof for Airy when he came back. In the meantime, she climbed up to the pool, dangling her legs over the edge, staring at the mundane horizon.
She missed her friends. She took all of them for granted.
